What Dominic Alldis's clients say
"It was amazing!! The teams are still talking about it. Thank you so much for an incredible experience!"
"What I can describe is the power that music has to connect us all. The lessons and journey Dominic and his team took everyone through that day were invaluable. Simply, 1) how to build trust quickly as a leader, 2) how to leave space for individual expression whilst maintaining common goals, and 3) that leadership in whatever its form always comes down to creating the right environment for people to flourish."
"You bring to life what leadership embodies, inspiring our leaders to stretch to their fullest potential. Your insights about collaboration and trust resonate powerfully with our leaders in the context of their teams and the business. In their words, 'transformative and empowering', elevating their sense of purpose and a shared responsibility for the work and for their teams. Simply magical…"
"Profound insights into innovation through live performance and discussion. Furthermore, the jazz vision is dead right for today's business organisations… compelling, engaging and applicable to any creative business."
"The interplay, the connection, the artistry of the musicians is an inspiring and unforgettable experience. Quite literally, Dominic, you are helping us transform leadership here at eBay."
"Our audience was more than inspired, they were re-energized by your performance. You and your musicians had a terrific impact on our audience."
"Wow, I and others were blown away by your performance. I can't thank you enough. You were the finale that pulled all the content from the day together into a moving, touching performance. So bravo, that's quite an accomplishment!"
"This was the motivational highlight at our European Consulting Conference this year. You successfully managed to use the symbolism of an orchestra to demonstrate how the role of a conductor and that of a team within a company are similar. Highly recommended.."
"Learning about leadership through music is one of the most creative learning experiences I have ever had. A beautiful, moving and educational experience."
"The best learning experience they had ever had at Google or anywhere, period."
"Dominic's command of his profession rivals that of any senior business leader. His ability to connect key business principles like trust, respect and execution was brought to life through his Music and Management performance. Respectfully, one of the most unique and enjoyable keynote speaker presentations your team will ever witness and be sure to remember."
"Thank you so much again for the session you ran for us, it went down fantastically well, as I knew it would."
